Hello

I've been using this in my go file for many years and it has always worked fine:

#!/bin/bash
# Start the Management Utility
/usr/local/sbin/emhttp 
echo "/usr/local/sbin/powerdown" | at 1:00 am > /dev/null 2>&1

 

But after I updated to V7.1.0 yesterday, I realized my server was still on this morning

Do you know what I should change to properly shut down my server at a specific time, every day?

You can use the user scripts plugin.

And what should be the script exactly?

#!/bin/bash
/usr/local/sbin/powerdown

 

Then schedule it for the time you want

Sory for my ignorance, but I created the script and I see I can run it daily
But how do I setup the time?

Set it to custom and use this to find the correct crontab value: https://crontab.guru/#00_00_*_*_1
Or change the daily time in settings-Scheduler-Fixed Schedules. This will change the time for all tasks (except custom) that run daily., if any.

Looks like 0 1 * * * mean 01:00 every day of the week

What's the difference between "run script" and "Run in background"?

It seems Run script is shutting down the server immediately, then I assume Run in background will shutdown at the specified time ?

No, it will also run it immediately, just set the schedule and wait.

Well, it didn't work. The server was still on this morning

By the way, why the script in the go file doesn't work anymore after the update to the new version v7.1.0?

Post a screenshot from the user scripts plugin page.

This is what I have

But I think I forgot to click on "Apply" then "Done" yesterday, so will see tonight (tomorrow morning actually) how it works

Looks like it works.....I can't guarantee it shutdown at 1:00am, but it was off this morning

What should I do with the go file? Keep it as is or completely delete it?

Thank you

Leave it stock, i.e., remove the last line only.
